Panasonic Digital Video Camera NV-GS57GC and SD card error

[zillah]

I knew that this question was answered in many other forums including this one, but I could not find something related to my issue.

Recently I bought microSD HC 8 GB with its SD adapter to use it with Panasonic Digital Video Camera model : NV-GS57GC, when i inserted the card I received card error message.

But when I used (testing purpose) the SD adapter above on my Samsung Camera it works.

And when I read the manual for Panasonic model : NV-GS57GC it says :

Do not format the card with another movie camera or any personal computer. This operation may make the card unusable

Do I need to use special software for formatting ?

Although I could not find in Panasonic Digital Video Camera NV-GS57GC an option for formatting!!!

If SD card did work on Smasung and did not work on Panasonic ,Wouldn’t that indicate there is no problem with SD card memory itself ?

I did find that option under "Card PlayBack Mode" , Menu >> Set [ADVANCED] >> [FORMAT CARD] >> [YES].

But still it gives me error message

I wonder if the card was pre-formatted when you got it? You might be able to get some program that'll nuke the card back to a default state?
